He Is Not Gone… … …

Ease your grief, he is not gone,

For in your heart, he lingers on.

His smile, his laugh, his special way,

Will comfort you from day to day.

You’ll feel his presence in the breeze

That dances gently through the trees.

And it’s his face that you shall see,

When you’re in need of company.

At any time, you can recall,

The love you shared – you saved it all.

And in time, more than anything,

You’ll find peace in remembering.
